we just returned from 12 days in Belize

stayed at Matachica which is on Ambergris Caye - lovely facility - even lovelier staff!

down side... you are five miles from anywhere and pretty much have to rely on water taxi which is pricey and crowded

did not wear shoes at all for 12 straight days - not in restaurants - not in town - no where - awesome

it was our sub for St. Martin this year - not the same - people watching not as good - it is a very very very quiet place so if you are looking for nightlife might want to reconsider
